Lyme disease is a media promoted disease, primarily of NY and CT women confined to offices and needing something to write about.

And you're basing this opinion on what? There may be people out there who abuse the diagnosis of Lyme disease, but it is still very real, and it sucks. Pray you never get it.

Wrong. Lyme disease and the ticks carrying it have been found in 49 states. And if you knew someone who had lyme, you wouldn't be so damned flippant about it. I had it and it hit my heart, brain and joints before they diagnosed it properly, primarily bcse of doctors who had the same snotty attitude as you. Of course they changed their minds after the results of my spinal tap and MRIs came back, but by then it had spread so fully, I almost died.

There's evidence that Lyme disease is a lot more common than expected. It may also be confused with numerous other maladies somewhat like syphlis used to be. I'll post a link later if I kept it. The interesting thing is the spirochete was identified in body fluids which means it can be transmitted by blood transfusions or sexual intercourse.

My sister was bitten by a tick when she was four, now she has this mystery disease. it is real. My concern is that in my effort to help take care of her, I may catach it.
i feel horrible because I treat her like a leper.
Doctors told her she was delusional. But I took pictures. Maybe I should return my camera for going along with the delusion.
I’m scared. I don’t have it. i hear alot of people have it. mass break out of DOP.
